End Mills

Went exploring the Harbor Freight store in Sacramento and saw these spiral bits hanging on the wall. They were only $6 for a 3-pack so I thought I'd give them a try and see how they work. Probably wont get around to using them until my new machine is up and running but that's okay. I'm working on modeling the new build in Solidworks and I think I'll post some pictures on here when I finish working on it. The plan for the new machine is 1.5" square steel tubing with a cutting area of 2' x 3' again using the angle iron and skate bearings for linear motion. It will have a moving gantry to maximize cutting area as well as a redesigned z-axis.
